Micah 6:2. Hear ye, O mountains, the LORD’S controversy, and ye strong foundations of the earth: for the LORD hath, a controversy with his people, and he will plead with Israel.
It was wonderful condescension on God’s part that he should deign to come as a defendant before the august court of the mountains, and in the presence of the deep foundations of the earth. It is a noble conception, in poetry most excellent; in grandeur, worthy of God. He made his appeal to the ancient hills to hear his pleading while he condescended to argue and ask his people why they had rejected their God, and turned aside to idols. Then he pleaded with Israel.
